Chapter 84 "Why are you still following us?" Nangong Qi asked breathlessly, puzzled, her face...
"Why are you still following us?" Nangong Qi asked breathlessly, her face covered in dust and dirt.
"Nothing," the translator said, managing to catch his breath while maintaining a semblance of composure.
"...You've been following us all this way." They'd been chased the whole way, and this translator had actually followed them the whole time!
"Couldn't it just be that we're going the same way as you?"
"Do you even believe that yourself?" They were still running for their lives because the system could no longer control her, but it could still locate her and control those monsters for some reason.
They were being chased the whole way, but fortunately, they were not seriously injured.
Finally, after running for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a figure. Behind them were countless monsters. Just as they were about to warn the other to run, they realized it was Shao Ji when they got closer.
After spotting them, Shao Ji moved quickly forward, leaped over them, and tore them apart one by one with ease, as if tearing paper. Amidst the spray of blood as the monsters were torn apart, the translator and Nangong Qi stared in disbelief. At that moment, they finally realized Shao Ji's power.
Countless monster corpses piled up into a small mountain, but Shao Ji stood up unharmed, and when she turned around, not even the hem of her clothes was dirty.
Shao Ji walked up to them naturally. Just as Nangong Qi was still wondering, the director collapsed limply to the ground.
What happened? In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Nangong Qi's mind.
Could it be that Shao Ji is also planning to seize it by force? That's why she knocked the director unconscious? Or is it because she accidentally let the director escape last time, and this time she's planning to imprison him?
No, no, no, this is already thinking in a positive direction. What if Shao Ji is planning to take revenge on the director? What if she imprisons him and tortures him every day...?
That's not right either! The female lead is such a kind person, she definitely wouldn't do that. Maybe she's after the divine title?
So conflicted, so very conflicted. She wasn't sure if the female lead still had feelings for the director! She didn't know about the others yet, but the novel clearly described Shao Ji's feelings for the director.
Even later, when he joined the main cast, he gradually detached himself from this relationship. But now all the plot points have been disrupted. Now all the male leads, female leads, and second male leads are ruling their own factions. Their forces are not united, and they will not become each other's salvation.
So their feelings for the director are really hard to explain. They have an obsession with the director, and their lives have revolved around him since they can remember.
They have given so much, and this dedication easily makes them feel that they need to be rewarded.
Getting them to give up will definitely not be that easy.
However, Shao Ji's next action interrupted Nangong Qi's conjecture.
Shao Ji gently picked up the director and tentatively reached out her other hand to touch his forehead. She sighed inwardly; his cold, which had finally gotten a little better, had now flared up even more after all this commotion.
This is a bad sign, but it's also normal. The temperature outside is just too cold right now, which is why we insisted on coming here. Firstly, it's because of this progress, and secondly, because there is complete heating here.
Nangong Qi stared blankly at Shao Ji's movements. Her movements were very light, as if she had guessed from the beginning that the director would fall, so she caught him in advance and prevented him from falling onto the cold ground.
In fact, Nangong Qi noticed the abnormal blush on the director's face.
"Come on, I'll arrange accommodations for you. Rest first, we can talk about it later." So the two of them followed Nangong Qi back to his base, somewhat bewildered.
Then, Shao Ji gently placed the director on the bed. Shao Ji naturally used water to wipe the director's body. She did not call anyone else to come, mainly because she was not used to it and did not want to serve him. He himself would not feel embarrassed.
The translator understood somewhat; it was a habit, just like back in the research institute, when Shao Ji only needed a glance from the director to immediately understand what the director needed and what state he was in.
Because he was always watching over the director, Shao Ji understood what the director lacked and what he should do. Shao Ji tried her best to take care of the director and do her best for him. One day, the director would realize his goodness and turn around. Maybe today he would just pat his head, praise him, say "not bad", or give him a piece of candy that only a child would eat.
Before this, all three children had lived in the research institute, but the other two had received verbal rewards such as pats on the head or candy.
But in reality, Shao Ji didn't. She just silently gave and waited. She never said what she wanted or needed. She just waited and waited, trying her best. She wouldn't complain if he wasn't there. It seemed like she was born unable to express her feelings or understand what her feelings were.
This is Shao Ji's love. Shao Ji has so much love, like the ocean, which is boundless and unrequited, making people unable to help but drown in it.
But the director was ruthless. He never explicitly expressed liking for anyone. He seemed to treat everyone equally, yet he was also indifferent and heartless to everyone.
Soon, the doctor arrived and diagnosed him with excessive grief, exhaustion, and overthinking, which, combined with prolonged exercise, caused him to fall ill.
The fact that they found out surprised them. They had thought that, as he appeared on the surface, he was a calm and ruthless person.
But perhaps he wasn't so heartless. Maybe he was thinking something as he ran or as he presented the flowers.
Perhaps he was reminiscing, perhaps he felt guilty for not saving him, but he buried it all deep in his heart.
The translator weighed the situation in his mind and felt that Huang Er still held some weight in front of the director. Perhaps he had left an indelible mark on the director's heart. Perhaps Huang Er would be happy to know that he still remembered his words, even if it came at the cost of his life.
So they decided to rest at the base for a while longer. Before that, they met Shao Ji's father, Jiao Qianyu.
He received them coldly, then coldly warned them not to run rampant in the base, and then sent them out. The base was no longer under his control; most of the affairs had been handed over to Shao Ji, as he was getting old.
"I don't understand. I was very grateful to you, Nangong Qi, because you brought Shao Ji to me. If you want the director, you can just take him with you. Why did you have to appear in front of us again?" Jiao Qianyu's cold words made Nangong Qi feel extremely embarrassed.
What could she say? She didn't know what to say. Could she say that her initial reason for seducing the section chief was to kick his daughter out? Could she say that her seduction of the director was a secondary purpose, actually for his daughter? That would probably lead to an even worse fate, wouldn't it?
There was also a translator nearby who had been watching the drama unfold. He knew exactly what the two of them were thinking, given the graphic he was using.
Even though he knows, Jiao Qianyu is still very worried about his daughter being abducted. After all, when she was very young, Shaoji was given the choice, and she firmly chose the director.
For example, he also knows that Jiao Qianyu is now like a paper tiger, acting as a bully because most of the power in the base is no longer in his hands.
Even the Jiemao beside Shaoji has much greater authority than him, so he is currently in a state of being sidelined. Although he is willing to accept this, Jiao Qianyu would never allow his daughter to hand over the base to the director. However, he has this worry in his heart.
In his view, this situation is still possible.
Then they saw Shao Ji and the director arranged for her to move into her own room. They wanted to object, but they didn't know what stance or purpose they should take to object.
Some even doubt whether the book will ever be published, or if it will remain there forever.
One day, when we talk about it, we realize they did something very unethical: they eavesdropped.
Moreover, it was Jie Mao who tipped him off, "Hey, don't you want to see your dear director? I heard he's already awake~" Yes, he didn't want the two of them to actually have any relationship, so he was happy to see them disturbed if he could stop them.
Moreover, now that he knows about roast chicken and understands absolutely nothing about love, and that Shao Ji's emotions have been sealed away, he's even more convinced that the director is abducting his god! ...
So he took the initiative to inform on them, just so they would...
Then they lay there quietly, and suddenly heard a rustling sound. Their eyes widened in shock. They couldn't have misheard, could they?
Shao Ji's words confirmed their guess, "Keeping an undergarment should be enough..." He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to someone else. Could it be that the young master still hasn't woken up?
At this moment, Nangong Qi's mind was already conjuring up a whole bunch of scenarios involving forced love...
Just then, another person joined the eavesdropping team. Yes, that's right, it was Jie Mao who had tipped them off before.
They looked over, somewhat confused, but Jiao Qianyu, with an air of self-righteousness, glared at them and continued listening.
They heard gasps, one after another, as if suppressing their pain.
It was Shao Ji's voice, "As expected, it's still not sharp enough..."
Bang! Jiao Qianyu declared he couldn't take it anymore! He needed to see what had happened!
